Re: [Chandler-dev] Chandler The Open Notebook? - New Landing Page and Product Tour

Dojo, the Javascript toolkit we use in the web ui, made the switch to  
forums a little while ago, it might be worth pinging some of the folks  
over there to see if they have any thoughts or suggestions on a)  
whether the forums have been a positive addition to other forms of  
communication and b) implementation of the necessary infrastructure.

I'd be happy to make this inquiry if we have interest in exploring the  
idea.
